I'm going through literal HELL right now. Please can somebody give me advice on how to deal with this prozac withdrawal/Antidepressent Discontinuation Syndrome?
So about 13, going on 14 days ago.. I stopped taking Prozac. I was taking 40 mg for about 3 months and it was giving me really messed up symptoms while I was on it. Now.. I'm starting to have those symptoms x20 and it's unbearable. I'm extremely irritable, I have severe restlessness and anxiety. I'm having these weird body sensations that are scaring the crap out of me, I'm having brain zaps (especially when I lay down at night to sleep) I feel like I'm stuck in this dream-like state all the time, and on top of all that I'm having vertigo and dizziness. I'm extremely sensitive to sound/light and my head is killing me.
What can I do to get through this? I can't handle this anymore, I'm losing my mind. Has anybody else gone through something like this? I read online about the withdrawals of Prozac and it sounds a lot like what I'm dealing with. My psychiatrist also told me that he thought the brain zaps and dizziness was caused by the prozac which is what led to me stopping for 4 days, I ended up taking 40 mg and it made me feel worse, so that's when I stopped officially 14 days ago.
